The current generation of mobile phones gives us the capability for carrying
a gedcom copy of our database with us when we travel. I have a gedcom of my
Gramps database on my iPhone. Has anybody figured out how to installed an
interactive version of Gramps on these devices? It sure would be nice to be
able to record data on the mobile device and then be able to sync with the
desktop database (or replace the database) when we return. I noted that
MacFamilyTree now acutally runs on iPhone and can be synced with the
database.

Vitali, there have been quite a number of posts in the mailing list
about this.
I can't lay my hands quickly on them, but perhaps if you look in the
mailing list archive
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=gramps-users
you'll find them. AFAIR, the most recent stuff - which was about where
to put *photos* - set it all out in some detail

They will be extracted from the package and placed into a
newly-created temporary directory off the home directory.
The media base path will then be set to that directory.
Once the import is done, you are then free to move them to another
path, and the Media Manager tool combined with the media base path can
be used to ensure GRAMPS knows exactly where the images are stored.

There mnemonic shortcuts for most actions, but I do not remember if we
may call "Select an existing object" dialogs as Gramps uses button !
Maybe file a feature request on bug-tracker.

Perhaps a simple suffix would work? For example, "XYZ-31.jpg" for the
version 3.1 screenshot of the XYZ screen. When 3.2 comes out, change
to "XYZ-32.jpg" if there's a new screenshot. If the old screenshot
still applies, leave the name as "XYZ-31.jpg".

Yes, but there was no naming scheme ... :(
See http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Available_screenshots
Also on 3.0, there was a mix on screenshots between old versions +
differents distributions and if you look at some images references
- exemple for:
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Orgbookmarks.png
* Gramps 3.0 Wiki Manual - Navigation
* Fr:Manuel wiki pour Gramps 3.0 - Navigation
* Mk:Грампс 3.0 Вики Прирачник -Навигација
* Mk:Грампс 3.0 Вики Прирачник - Навигација
* Sq:Gramps 3.0 Wiki Manual - Navigation
* Available screenshots
* Gramps 3.1 Wiki Manual - Navigation
* Sq:Gramps 3.1 Wiki Manual - Navigation
* Mk:Грампс 3.1 Вики Прирачник - Навигација
* Mk:Грампс 3.1 Вики Прирачник -Навигација
you will see that some localized version uses "english" version. How
contributors may follow name change ?
I updated screenshots for Tools/Utilities, Views, added some Editors
(keep your version of Note Editor), keep "3.0" version on person editor
tabs (events, sources, gallery, notes, addresses, etc ...) and no
changes on reports screenshots, search functions (filters).
True, to overwrite Family or Person editor is not a good choice.
Some "View" screenshot for 3.0 did not display Note View (was
Gramps-2.2.x !) Today, there is an additional HTML/Maps View !!!
Please, propose a naming scheme and I will revert changes on 3.0 (only
Editors and Views)

New screenshots should have new names, yes. The old manual should remain
valid. If the screen is the same as in 3.0 though, then it can change.
We should think of a naming scheme for the pictures.
On upgrade of the wiki manual, all text with 3.1 in it will be changed to
3.2, so having the version in the screenshot will allow us to upgrade them.

Yes, I added [[media links]] on 3.1 version
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Brief
By clicking on blue reference, you will see image in full size, it
sounds better than old text reference.
Also, I updated screenshots !
The problem was : should we change the name of screenshots for 3.1 ?

A tad confused. Can anyone help?
In the Families view I have the column headings ID | Father | Mother |
Relationship. And yet the names of a married couple are listed in the Father -
Mother column where the female partner is obviously not the mother.
Am I doing something wrong?
Also, what is the recommended way to enter marriage details?
Thanks.

> if smaller dialogs will appear in 3.1, that's good!
In my case, width for Person Editor is 859 pixels on Gramps-3.0.4 and
643 pixels on 3.0.99 (pre-3.1) !
But no change on Event Editor (618 pixels)

It was old "docbook" references...
It will be great if we could use

The only reference I know is:

Not sure it covers all though, but those definitely are present,
Where do you have the append-keybind from?
